Why I Chose Yale: "I came on the recruit trip injured (I tore my ACL and got surgery) but it did not seem to bother the coaches. They said I would recover quickly, and I'd be okay. The other universities I was looking at weren't interested anymore once they found out, but Yale stuck with me to the end."
